Esther McClay

It’s always a bonus when a REALTOR® brings a multi-talented background to the business. Well known for her strong work ethic, Esther McClay will go the extra mile for each and every client. With an extensive background in Sales, Marketing, Customer Service and Management, Esther has what it takes to tackle any challenge in today’s ever-changing market. Esther has lived in California all of her life, mostly in the Bay Area, except when she attended the University of San Diego and completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration.

BACKGROUND / EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE.

Esther is thrilled to be a member of the Bay East, California and National Association of REALTORS® and brings her enthusiasm, expertise and knowledge to every client meeting and transaction. She has been a very active volunteer in her community (fundraising and working in her children’s classrooms) as well as community activities (Girl Scout Leader, National Charity League). Esther continues to give time and treasure to causes and organizations where there is a need.

In her spare time, Esther can be seen walking her two bundles of canine joy down Foothill Road or playing a round of golf at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds. She also couldn’t be prouder of her family’s accomplishments over the past 29 years!

THE EXPERIENCE IS ALAIN PINEL.

Experience the difference – Personal ties and relationships turn a property into a home. Warm, professional relationships are a hallmark of the APR experience, and my clients often remark on the quality of my carefully chosen network of financial, legal, logistical and other specialists. The high-quality network that I have fostered extends beyond the Bay Area to an international audience of potential home buyers and sellers through the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and the firm's luxury home division known as Luxury Portfolio. My personal network combined with APR market tenure and brand identity gives my clients a distinct advantage when buying or selling a home.

My relationships open the door for my clients to be at home anywhere. Where people, homes, opportunity and a bit of imagination intersect, you'll find me at Alain Pinel Realtors.

“We spent several months visiting realty websites on our own and were discouraged. We had an idea of a home that would be better-suited to our family's needs, but nothing seemed to be coming up that was in our price range. We were ready to give up until we asked Esther McClay for her expertise. Esther reached out to us regularly and kept us in the loop on new properties, but she never pushed at all. She taught us about the small neighborhoods that are hidden, unless you know where to look -- charming areas we didn't know existed in our own town.
Esther navigated us through the very complicated world of negotiations, cautions, and priorities, always looking out for our best interests. She negotiated a lower price and made sure every detail was covered. She then guided us every step of the way through a very successful sale of our previous home. Esther made us feel like we were her only clients. She was always available and responsive.
We highly recommend Esther's top-notch services. She is considerate, thoughtful and always looking to deliver what her clients want, not just what is on the market. We love our new home! Thank you Esther McClay!!!

“I met Esther McClay when I was visiting an open house. This was my first day looking at potential homes and had no idea Esther would be sharing this journey with me. Since I was "just looking", Esther was welcoming and not "pushy", and offered to send current listings via email for me to review as desired until I was ready to purchase.
I had no idea I would find the perfect home within weeks! Esther listened carefully to the description of what I wanted in my new home and took me to places that would meet my specific needs. What I appreciated the most was that Esther always responded to my texts, phone calls and emails immediately and went the extra mile to find the perfect lender for me as well. I highly recommend Esther as the best realtor, now friend, and when I decide to sell my current home and/or purchase another I will be calling Esther!

“Dear Prospective Homeowners,
It was with great pleasure that we recommend Esther McClay as a real estate agent for any party searching for a Bay Area dwelling. My wife met Esther at an open house and mentioned that our situation would be a challenging as we relocated separately to the area and didn’t understand the present market dynamics. Esther was more than happy to take us on as clients and work with us at our pace.
Esther had initial meeting with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs and location requirements. Subsequently Esther tailored her recommendations based on our requirements and kept an even temperament thru multiple bids that soured us on the whole process. During the process Esther’s professionalism was evident as she was reachable at any time of day and even kept in contact during her vacation. Esther is also highly personable with an engaging but measured personality so we never felt rushed under any circumstances.
When we finally found the right property Esther coached us on a proper bid. When this bid was subsequently accepted, unlike other agents, she continued to diligently work with us through the myriad of inspections as well as the final closing.
Esther doesn’t treat a sale as transaction but rather as a relationship and for that reason we are pleased to recommend Esther McClay to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area. If you would like to discuss our experience in greater detail please feel free to contact us.
Regards,
Mark & Tracy
